Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students begin at an earlier age. Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him in as a student.

Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions (指导). But he just did not have any inborn ability.

I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in. Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.

I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part. I agreed but I made him perform last in the program, so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.

I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.

I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby! How’d you do it?”

“Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.” That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.

Her frozen fingers touched the flame trying to feel alive. She could feel the warmth but it was a cold heat, as if the candle was rejecting her.

Her arms turned red because of the cold, her short sleeved shirt not giving her enough warmth. The winter air grabbed(抓住) at her arms, causing her pain, but she didn’t mind. She knew she should put her jacket on, it was winter in Connecticut, but that would be giving up. Up here, in this tree she felt safe.

She looked at the candle, surrounded by hardening wax(蜡). She placed her fingers gently on the warm green wax. This candle was a reminder of her life inside that house, a life she would have to return to eventually.

As a child, she had gotten this candle. She spent all she had on it. The beautiful crystal box （水晶盒）had caught her eye. Five whole nickels（五分币） had brought her that candle.

She gave it to her mother for Mother’s Day. Her mother had managed a smile and put it on a shelf. “It’s very pretty, honey! I will put it right here.” Since then that candle had never been moved, never been lighted, sitting dusty on a cluttered shelf that no one could see. Later on, her parents got divorced.

By now the candle was colder than the air and the darkness was complete. The snow on the ground made the night lighter and less satisfying than it had been before the first snowfall. She liked the darkness because she felt safe in it. From the glances of her friends who liked the girl she used to be. From the boys who could never figure out who she was. From her guidance counselor(顾问) whose endless worried looks never made her feel any better.

No one was outside at this time of night. She was alone in the world, just how she liked it. Just as she was about to lean back against the branch, she heard a sound.

She heard footsteps breaking the ice in the snow, heading toward her. He was making his way toward the white fence at the edge of the building, right against the road. Normally she would have ignored this person and stayed on her branch faraway from human contact, but this figure had something with him. He trudged(吃力地走) toward the white fence carrying a case. The figure reached the fence, opened the case and took out a shiny object.

She took her eyes off this figure only long enough to climb down the tree to get a better view of him. She reached the bottom and saw that the person had turned to face the street, sitting on the white fence that she and her friends once sat on. She stepped carefully on the ice, making her way toward him.

And then a beautiful sound of music came from the shiny object. She stopped and listened to it. She started walking towards the guy again. Just as she was about to step onto the snow banks, she slipped on the ice crashing to the ground. The figure turned around in surprise and a sudden recognition fell upon them both.

Years ago I had the opportunity to meet a girl who reinforced my understanding of the power of belief. She was 36 the most powerful person I had ever met. I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie 37 in California.

Our class had already been going for quite some time when 38 , supported by metal crutches（拐杖）, 39 herself in. Chris had cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）. She had many 40 in communicating with others. This was not due to 41 of desire, but because most of her twenty-one years of life she had been kept in a room with no more than Elvis records and tapes to 42 her. No one had taken the time to assist her in developing the ability to 43 . It was Bonnie, her current caretaker, who 44 there was much more to Chris than anyone else gave her credit for.

When asked by the instructor what her goal 45 the twelve-week course was, Chris struggled to respond and became frustrated and 46 in the process. For most of her 47 nobody would listen to her. The only way she knew to get someone to 48 was through temper outbursts. With Bonnie as her interpreter, Chris conveyed that her 49 was to be able to stand by herself in front of forty-five people and tell us about herself.

On the twelfth week, Chris stood in front of the room and 50 with us, in her own words, what her life had been like. It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever 51 . Though as a girl who had in many ways been 52 , she believed that she could __53__ more in her life and she did. And she also had the love and support of forty-five friends, who, just weeks before, had been 54 strangers.

What we all witnessed through Chris’ courage is that life is 55 moment by moment, based on our beliefs, which are relevant to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.

I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was 36 the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final 37 . During the test，the girl 38 next to me whispered something，but I didn’t understand. So I leaned(倾斜) over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me 39 I had an extra pen. She showed me that 40 was out of ink and would not write．I happened to have an extra one，so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk．

Later, after the test papers had been 41 the teacher asked me to 42 in the room when all the other students 43 . As soon as we were alone, she began to talk to me about 44 it meant to grow up；she mentioned how important it was to stand 45 your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about __46 _and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest，they really 47 themselves．She made me promise that I would think 48 about all the things she had said. Then she told me I could 49 . I walked out of the room wondering 40 she had chosen to talk to me about all those things．

Later on，I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the gir1 next to me, it looked 51 I was copying answers 52 the girl’s test paper. So I came to find her and tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t 53 anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. 54 I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor 55 letting her use my pen, I was sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test．
